The article focuses on the meanings that social actors attach to siblinghood in older age and the way of support between siblings in the period of life crisis or transitions (divorce, widowhood and illness). It is based on an analysis of data collected in Czechia in 2017–2019 from qualitative interviews and focus groups with participants aged 50+. The analysis highlights the symbolic level of siblinghood in old age and the gradual deepening of the relationship between siblings. The siblings provide each other mainly psychological support, the life transition or event do not significantly change their relationship. Rapprochement between them in old age is rather due to a progression in life course and a change in lifestyle. Siblings have more time for each other. They share common memories and the general experience of aging.

The present study examines the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Lifespan Sibling Relationship Scale (LSRS; Riggio, 2000). A total of 578 (336 female, 242 male) Turkish emerging adults participated in this study. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to test construct validity for the original six-factor model of the scale with 48 items. Results of the CFA indicated a good model fit. Furthermore, the second-order CFA result showed that the scale can be scored for both the sub-dimensions and the test as a whole. Multi-group CFA result revealed that the measured construct is invariant across the genders. The results suggested that the Turkish version of the LSRS had adequate internal consistency and construct validity, indicating that it can be reliably used to measure attitudes toward sibling relationship in emerging adulthood among a Turkish population.
